Thanks, Steven, I'll try it.

Also, I just discovered GEN 16.

Would this work also?

f1 0 8 -16 0 8 0 0
or perhaps it should be (though I doubt it):
f1 0 8 -16 0 1 0 0

I find the docs a little confusing for GEN 16 - regarding "dur" as number of 
"segments" or "steps". The examples only show a single curve, so I'm 
wondering why "dur" wouldn't be synonymous with function size - and thus 
redundant? (Perhaps in some cases the curve would not last the entire 
table?)
